Good Morning World! Welcome to our home! Last Condo

AMPS 278
Not too bad of a number for Mr. KTKitty this morning - we're still working on finding the right dose of Levemir for him. He's feeling so much better and actually hungry in the mornings again. Most mornings now he wants dog food as long as it's Purina ground chicken. He'll eat about half a can of FFeast pate something then sit on the island waiting for 30-45 minutes until it's doggies turn for food. He has to have Sasha's bowl - it's NO different than anyone elses other than it's yellow instead of blue. It's happened so often lately that DH finally just put some on a saucer for him...he's decided that works too! We're still doing digestive enzymes, probiotics, zobaline and LLysine daily in baby food.

Oh my BOUNCY boy!! WOOT WOOT!!! It's only taken a year to get to this point but we're finally seeing movement! He hit green in the middle of the night again causing a BIG bounce this morning! We'll work thru these bounces and hopefully stop them from being so drastic. I'll not try to hold him down in the double-digits, he's WAY WAY too hard to raise if he goes too low - like dragging a boulder out of quicksand. He doesn't like gravy anything, he doesn't like karo, he doesn't like nutri-cal - I have to syringe anything while he throws his head around trying to avoid it. His mouth is wide and shallow, hard to get things to STAY in there. He's also loving to play again!!! He feels GOOD!
In our last condo, I mentioned that 'Tanner' would probably stay...then realized I wasn't doing condos when he arrived. On April 30th while returning from leaving Snowshoe at vet with bowel obstruction, I noticed a beautiful red-tail hawk that suddenly swooped after prey - the PREY ran across the road in front of me. That 'prey' is a whole 7oz of tiny kitten scrambling, tumbling and running stopping on the roadside because that's as far as he could go. Honk scared away hawk, I just picked up kitty huddled there. I don't think he was even 6 weeks old - still has 'baby eyes' too. He's mostly white with orange ears, orange spot on his back and orange striped tail. Now, a month later, he walks well, he's learned to JUMP, he's almost 2 pounds and is one heck of a character. He's sharing the sunroom with Pepper and Lily but will probably move in here with the rest of 'the boys' when he settles down a bit. He's not much afraid of anything altho' is cautious.
LeoBeboKitty has FINALLY kicked his URI - he was one sick sick baby. Yesterday he and Dakota finally played together again. Sure was nice to see!
We were also blessed again - this time with 2 female 'Pibble' pups. They are about 6 months old and are just the sweetest babies, just love attention. Luckily one of our neighbor's took them - they just lost one of their elderly babies, the timing was perfect. The white one, LuLu, just loves for someone to scratch her head - she lays her head in your hand, shuts her eyes and licks your hand the whole time. You can tell she's just in Heaven. The other one, now 'Bessie', is brindle/white and just as sweet but is a fence jumper. They're both VERY smart, Bessie has learned that altho' she can jump the fence and get out, she's expected to stay on their property.
Snow's still working thru hard poopies but we're FINALLY now at the 'softer' part. There is one drug that will help with cat's motility, Cisapride, but the price has gone sky-high...$65/1 month. Can't do that...we'll continue with what we're doing.
All other fuzzy feetz are doing well. Warm weather is hard on DH's HKPP as sweat is one of his paralysis triggers...there's nothing that will help it so we'll just continue dancing albiet sometimes very slowly!!
If you're on Facebook, please take a minute to look at a site called "Pray for Makenna". Makenna Henry is 4 years old and currently beginning chemo/radiation treatment for cancer. She had a baseball size brain tumor removed on April 27th, the 29th she was out playing and running around! She's now in Houston at Children's hospital. She's from my hometown, kin to a lot of the people I went to school with and the niece of one of my close schoolmates. What the medical community is capable of these days is just amazing.
Thoughts and prayers to all that visit today!
BIG HUGS and YARD DANCES!!!!
